    The book is not DC's best but the climax of Kid Flash's past is keeping us hooked to eventful end of the title. Tyler Kirkham's art is always a joy to behold along with the wonderful ink of Art Thibert and of course we have to call out the cheesey villainous Superboy thought bubbles. May they continue to break the readers tension. Read Full Review

    Tyler Kirkham’s art is solid. His pencils aren’t particularly unique, but he’s a powerful storytelling force. There is no lack of ability with character faces, and the action is nicely done. Kirkham has a good sense of movement and pacing. The work tells the story, and doesn’t get in the way of what Lobdell is doing. It may not be the most exciting artwork in comics, but it communicates the overall arc very well. Read Full Review

    This issue was a little slow but carried some important plot points. The twist at the end of the issue does point to something more action packed in the next issue though. The plot also seems to be heading towards something a bit more compelling and the Titans will have some hard choices ahead of them. This issue was clearly meant to set up the climax of the arc and is a little dry as a result but its definitely worth a read to keep up with the plot Read Full Review

    One Quest - Chris Cobb Jan 31, 2014

    For the most part I've enjoyed Teen Titans, ever since Forever Evil started though the book has just felt off. It's one of the only books dealing directly with the problem right now, aside from the Justice League titles. Only they're not dealing with the problem, they're dealing with a different problem caused by Forever Evil. Read Full Review

    We The Nerdy - Bryan Huth Feb 3, 2014

    The latest installment in the Teen Titans series is one that drags the troubled series down even further. Given the inconsistency that Lobdell's Titans has become known for, this isn't shocking, but with the past two issues focusing on the dramatic and violent past of the former Kid Flash, I had hoped for better. The premise that Bar Torr was able to fight the effects of The Functionary's mind eraser and fooled the Teen Titans the whole time is pretty far fetched and takes a great deal away from the story. The best thing to take away fromTeen Titans #27 is that you finally learn something about Solstice's past, not to mention the art of Kirkham and Thibert. Hopefully Lobdell can pull the story together and end the Titans on a high note. Stay tuned to We The Nerdy for more Titans and where the characters will find themselves come May. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Eric Shea Jan 30, 2014

    Here we're given a fifteen page comic that doesn't amount to much besides letting us know that Bar Torr is a bad dude.  While I enjoyed Kirkham's art, we're not given anything really new until the thirteenth page of this very short comic.  Which is weird, because I seemed to enjoy it a lot more than I have enjoyed this title in a long time now.  Seems like Lobdell is just phoning it in now that the title is set to be canceled.   Read Full Review

    All-Comic - Jacob Bryant Jan 29, 2014

    Teen Titans#27 is an overwritten issue where not a lot happens. The one big event that does happen in the issue could have been reached in about half the time. Kirkham's art is the one bright spot in this issue, but it can only do so much. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Jan 30, 2014

    Teen Titans is an embarrassment. It's a comic book for idiots. Teen Titans is for readers who don't care about characters, consistency or common sense, and love it when writers poke fun at their audience. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Resources - Greg McElhatton Feb 3, 2014

    Lobdell's narration for "Teen Titans" #27 explains the idea of the team early on and then notes, "It can be argued, lately, they've lost the plot." Truer words were never written. This title, pre-"The Harvest," was fun. Hopefully a new creative team can come along later this year and find that once more. Read Full Review
